Paula Mills, CEO of Academy of Entrepreneurs

"I met Natasha in 2015 when she was delivering a presentation to a group of small business owners. With years of experience of my own in HR, within corporate organisations, it was obvious Natasha knew her subject matter inside-out. She was engaging, relevant and it was obvious that she cared.

Upon launching my group coaching program, Natasha was an obvious choice to deliver a workshop on recruitment and employee engagement. Natasha was – as usual – engaging, and the content of the presentation was very relevant to the audience. As was evident from our surveys, my clients were extremely satisfied with the workshop – they felt that Natasha was the “right balance between knowledgeable and approachable”, and that the workshop resulted in increased awareness relating to HR matters which are relevant to them, and the confidence to expand their business through more clarity on the hiring process and employee engagement strategies.

Since then, all the clients who attended the workshop have hired employees and they have found the strategies they learned to be extremely useful."

Kathryn Kavanagh, Director at Momentum Lab March 2018

" I really enjoyed hearing you speak. I felt that you truly understood the issues we face with employees. You made a difficult topic easy and fascinating to listen to and provided the clarity and direction to make my life, as an employer, easier."
